Dear List, I try to use kmalloc in a kernel patch. It is called at the very beginning of the boot process. It initialises the system clock from the RTC. It is running on an mpc860 platform. I try to allocate some buffers using kmem = kmalloc(2000, GFP_KERNEL); or mem_addr = __get_free_page(GFP_KERNEL); But when I compile these lines, the boot process freezes. Do anyone has any idea why??? TIA && Good byte! -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
